Background On December 14, 1993, the Board of Supervisors approved General Plan Amendment GP-93-7 and Zone Reclassification ZR-93-6 in order to recognize existing industrial uses. The project area consisted of five (5) parcels totaling approximately twenty (20) acres and included the following industrial uses: a personal storage facility with a sporting goods manufacturing, packing and distributing company. a truck rental company, a mobile home tire sales company and a company which recycled mobile home tires and axles. General Plan policies permitted the parcels to be formally designated as industrial on the General Plan map because of the existing industrial uses. The General Plan policies also stated that once an industrial area was recognized, the area could be allowed to expand even though it was not within a community, if a General Plan Amendment is approved.

The proposed zone district is reasonable and beneficial at the time (Development Title Section 9-812.4). The Board of Supervisors previously determined that conditionally approving ZR-96-3 was consistent with the General Plan and reasonable and beneficial at the time. If Condition 1 is removed from the I-L/S.10 zoning, the second basis for Zone Reclassifications cannot be made because the Environmental Health Department "feels
